- Andrew Herod, professor of Geography at the University of Georgia, delivers a talk entitled, "Hammering against the reds: How that AFL-CIO fought communism in Latin America through urban planning." Herod talks about the relationship between the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and the U.S. government in Latin America throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Herod says that the U.S. government used local labor unions to promote capitalism and democracy and to stop the spread of communism. Herod also says that democratic and capitalistic ideology was encouraged by the construction of social spaces such as housing units, schools, community centers which promoted social interaction. He answers questions from the audience. The event is convened by John P. Beck, Michigan State University professor of Human Resources and Labor Relations.

- Description:
- African nations are at the crossroads. Some of their economies are tottering, and on the brink of collapse while social, cultural and political structures are becoming weaker by the day. There is need for better management of Africa's resources. The article advances an argument that communication is critical in the empowerment of civil society. It points out that communication is a doubleedged blade that can either empower or disempower a civil society. The paper highlights key areas in which communication can empower a society. These are in the economic, cultural and political spheres. The effects of modern communication technology especially the internet and e-mail among others, which have radically transformed information dissemination system are discussed. It includes that African countries must take cognisance of the role of communication and harness it for their benefit.
